Scriptaid is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has an optimal concentration of 6-8 μM in a cell-based assay, is less toxic than trichostatin A, and works in a wide variety of biological systems. Nullscript is an analog of scriptaid that lacks the HDAC inhibitory effects of scriptaid. It is used as a negative control in experiments involving scriptaid.
